Abstract

Perineal hernia is described as the muscle weakening of the perineum region, so that viscera migration to the region may occur. Occurs mainly in dogs, males, uncastrated and elderly. It is uncommon in felines. A female feline, SRD, 7 years old, was seen at the Animal's Clinic, located in Teresina-PI, presenting signs compatible with perineal hernia. The definitive diagnosis was made by simple radiographic examination, and bowel loops were observed as hernial content. The treatment performed was classical herniorrhaphy, which proved to be efficient. Thus, this study aimed to report a case of bilateral perineal hernia in a cat, describing its signs, clinical history, method of diagnosis and treatment employed.
